Definitions

• the present invention relates to novel, transient prodrug derivatives of biologically active drugs which contain a mercapto moiety, and, more especially, relates to certain acyl-X-methylthioether latentiated forms of such drugs.
• prodrug denotes a derivative of a known and proven prior art compound, which derivative, when absorbed into the bloodstream of a warm-blooded animal, "cleaves” in such a manner as to release the proven drug from and permits the same to attain a higher bioavailability level than that which could be obtained if the proven drug form, per se, was administered.
• the term “transient” denotes “cleavage” of the compounds of this invention in such a manner that the proven drug form is released and the remaining “cleaved” moiety is non-toxic and metabolized in such a manner that non-toxic metabolic products are produced.
